[address-policy-wg] 2011-04 New Policy Proposal (Extension of the Minimum Size for IPv6 Initial Allocation)

All,

I support the thought that LIRs should be able to get up to a /29 as an
initial allocation with no documentation required. However, that doesn't
mean I support the policy proposal in its current form. Here's why. In the
current policy text, it's very clear cut that unless you provide
documentation (which means you've thought about how to deploy), you get a
/32. I would not want a situation where people get a /29 without thinking,
making a mess of it and then come back. So you could get a /29 if you
asked for it specifically, otherwise you get a /32.

So I would propose the following:

Organisations that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to
receive an initial allocation of /32. For initial allocations up to /29 no
additional documentation is necessary.

Organisations may qualify for an initial allocation greater than /29 by
submitting documentation that reasonably justifies the request. If so, the
allocation size will be based on the number of existing users and the
extent of the organisation's infrastructure.


--snip--

And, of course, using up your /29 in one go means no additional adjacent
reserved address space on the RIPE NCC books, but that's an implementation
issue :)
